I'm not sure I'd be able to use a complete wiring diagram for a boat this size.
Usually you're working on one system at a time, so that's the only one you care about. Having a rough diagram for each system showing where things are terminated and what color wires are used would be a big help. So is labeling the terminals, switches, fuses, etc.
My boat was professionally re-wired a number of years ago, and everything is pretty clean, at least what was installed back then. The biggest problem I have is that everything goes into big bundles of wires, making it hard to figure out where any one wire goes from there. I've gone through a lot of wire ties, breaking apart bundles, finding the one wire I want, then putting them back together neatly. Sometimes I add labels along the way for future reference.
